Unzip & Env Path Name
I need to download team foundation server on Unix (4 simple instructions below), but I am stuck.. I am newbie Unix user, so please be patient.

-cd /home/Myname/Downloads, Unzip
-Unzipped to /home/Myname/DestFolder
-cd DestFolder, type tf -help, works there
- outside this folder, doesn't work. I understand I have to include its path
- How and where do I add its path? in the .cshrc file under /home/Myname?
- I tried adding "set path=($path /home/myName)" also "set path=(.)" in /home/myname/.cshrc, but didn't work.

To install the Cross-Platform Command-Line Client for Team Foundation Server
  1. Unzip the archive (.zip file) that contains the client.
  2. Configure your shell or system path to include the folder to which you unzipped the archive.
  3. To verify that the client is working, at a command prompt, type tf, and then press ENTER.
    If the client is correctly installed, output that starts with Microsoft Team Explorer Everywhere Command-line Client (version 10.0.0) appears.
  4. For information about any of the commands, you can type tf help Command, where Command is the name of the command for which you want information. For example, you could type tf help checkin.

Put /home/Myname/DestFolder in your PATH. If that's where the command is, that's where PATH needs to look.

Under no circumstances should you put . in your path, that's a big security hole.
